ABOUT BRISBANE'S BEST CURLY HAIR EXTENSIONS 
 

1. Method
We only offer curly hair extensions in weft method. This selection is meticulously chosen due to its superior aftercare and maintenance requirements, ensuring optimal quality and longevity of the hair.

2. Length: despite the availability of curly extensions, they tend to sell out rapidly due to high demand, particularly when considering color and texture preferences. To address this, we use an exclusive technique to craft curls from straight hair. That said, expect a loss in length ranging from 5 to 10 inches (10 to 30 cm). Bear in mind your desired length as you may require longer hair for the final outcome accordingly to your curl pattern.
 

3. Aftercare
Maintaining curly hair extensions requires special care. Daily detangling and separating the rows are essential. Keep your hair hydrated with moisture-rich products, including a leave-in mask and daily serum. To preserve the curls and prevent tangling, sleep on a silk pillowcase or wear a silk bonnet every night.

4. Maintenance
For curly hair, maintenance is crucial every 8 to 10 weeks. Curly hair is prone to tangling more easily than straight hair, so adhering to this timeframe is essential to prevent knots and minimize damage. I highly recommend this schedule, especially for clients with fine hair.

5. Textures

Due to the superior standard and quality of our Brazilian hair range, we offer patterns ranging from 2A to 4A (see figure a). These patterns can be provided in both natural (2a to 3a, although slightly more challenging) and custom-made options. A consultation is a must to determine your appropriate pattern. Given that most clients have at least two different patterns, our meticulous approach ensures impeccable results.

6. Styling
If you prefer straight hair despite being a curly girl, our curly extensions may not be suitable for you. Our curls are achieved through a chemical-free process, and frequent thermal straightening (blow drying and straightening) can cause them to lose their shape. Depending on the customization and health of your extensions, redoing the curls may not be possible.
Now, you love your curls, and all you want is to rock them, but sometimes are in the mood for a little change, you can totally indulge in a blow-dry session (yep, just once in a blue moon or even less). Just remember to slap on that heat protector and keep your locks moisturized and nourished. Our curls are naturally dried, and let's face it, dehydrated hair is a recipe for breakage and frizz – ain't nobody got time for that!

7. Colouring

If you're considering changing the colour of your extensions, here are a few important points to keep in mind:

a) For natural dark extensions: Depending on how light you want to go, there's a limit to how much we can lighten the color without risking damage to the curls. Going too light may result in losing the curls permanently.

b) For natural light extensions: We have more flexibility to achieve a higher colour lift, but it must still be done cautiously to avoid damaging the hair and disrupting the curl pattern.

Regardless of the change you're contemplating, Babalu strongly recommends having it done by a professional and conducting a patch test beforehand. Additionally, please note that we cannot be held responsible for any services performed outside of our salon.

8. Treatments

Alright, curly queens! Listen up because our curly extensions deserve some serious TLC – and maybe even a bit more than what you give your natural curls, dare I say! After all, we've invested in these beauties, so let's make 'em last for years, shall we? Make it a ritual to moisturize them at least once a week. You can create your own hair care schedule or get your hairstylist to help you out. Trust me, treating your hair weekly will leave you with hair that is stronger, softer, and shinier – who doesn't want that, right? And guess what? You don't need a whole new set of products for your natural hair and your extensions. Our Brazilian hair is raw and natural, just like your own hair. If you feel like they need a little extra boost, go ahead and treat them to a professional treatment – just make sure to keep those curls intact!

Important note: any procedure performed outside our salon nullifies the guarantee, and we assume no responsibility for it.
